1979 – 2024 · Tribal Harmony Collection
Dooyum Raphael Ahikyaa (1979–2024) was a narrative painter whose works on synthetic canvas depicted communal life, ritual, and the rhythms of West African tradition with extraordinary warmth and precision. His five works in this collection form part of the Tribal Harmony Series — commissioned by collector Kinsley Ikem-Ifudu to preserve African tribal stories before they disappear forever. These are not merely paintings. They are acts of cultural memory — communities depicted where every mind had purpose and every difference had value. Acquiring a work from this collection is acquiring a piece of a legacy.
Each piece comes with a certificate of authenticity. Every acquisition funds neuroscience-based programmes for neurodivergent young people in Tower Hamlets through St. Katharine's Trust.
